Pirates of the Caribbean had enough hype that I went to the midnight showing, got the most applause and laughs I’ve ever experienced at the theatre, and it still stood up upon rewatch.

Those first three are damn awesome imo.

Holy shit it's Ask a Ninja, I still have that theme stuck in my head after all these decades

I had the pleasure of watching this in the theater with a cadre of goths that had a little too much rum and tequila with lunch. The movie itself is entirely too much fun on its own, but accidentally attending with a crew of drunken pirates made for a 11/10 experience.

That sounds like the perfect crowd to watch it with, fate smiled upon you

Yeah at the first couple midnight showings newly released movies often get applause! Happens a lot less outside of midnight releases.
